India will discontinue LPG supply within three months for households refusing to switch to piped natural gas (PNG) where available, under a new order by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. The move aims to expand pipeline infrastructure, promote fuel diversification, and free LPG for areas without connectivity amid global supply disruptions. Exceptions apply where PNG is technically infeasible with a valid NOC. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board will oversee implementation. The government clarified no changes to LPG refill rules and assured adequate supplies, urging citizens to avoid panic amid ongoing energy concerns.
